The OutBack MX60 Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
charge controller enables your PV system to achieve its highest possible
performance. Rated for up to 60 amps of DC output current, the OutBack MX60
can be used with battery systems from 12 to 60 vdc with PV open circuit
voltage as high as 125 vdc. The MX60's setpoints are fully adjustable to
allow use with virtually any battery type, chemistry and charging profile.
The OutBack MX60 allows you to use a higher output voltage PV array with a
lower voltage battery - such as charging a 24 vdc battery with a 48 vdc PV
array. This reduces wire size and power loss from the PV array to the
battery/inverter location and can maximize the performance of your PV system.
The OutBack MX60 comes standard with an easy to use and understand display of
the PV system’s performance. The four line, 80 character, backlit LCD display
is also used for programming and monitoring of the system’s operation. The
OutBack MX60 can also be connected to the OutBack MATE system controller and
display to allow monitoring of up to eight MX60 controllers from a distant
location - up to 300 feet away. The MATE also includes an optoisolated RS232
port for connection to a PC computer for data logging and system monitoring.
